First Footing

Firstly before the footing business I would just like to wish you all a

HAPPY NEW YEAR for 2013.

So today we took the dogs for a walk in the woods at Pé de Jojo and the weather was great with the sun shining through the branches and illuminating the wonderful green blankets of moss all around the trees.

 

 

Moss does not have flowers but these stems have capsules on the end that contain spores for its reproduction.

You will often see Ivy and Moss living happily together

 

 

another close up of the capsules - different varieties seem to have different coloured stems

When we got back home we could see this chap just roaming around outside the Gite. It was getting dark but I did manage to get this one shot of him without getting to close and then left him to wander around the garden with our own birds.

 

 

 So this is our First Footer of 2013 not bad aaaaaaaaaaaa
